How the hell can Kevin Nolan not be on that list despite being Dublin's best player this year?

Why did the defender throw his feet across to block that shot, when any eejit knows there's a risk of a peno in doing such a thing. Why wasnt he brave enough to throw himself hands first instead of feet first?
Quote from: cadence on July 03, 2012, 08:35:53 PMI specifically mentioned the last ten minutes against Dublin. Perhaps you can point out the imagination or intelligent thinking Donegal displayed there?
+ how do you play a game and score points without any imagination or intelligent thinking. i'm intrigued. how exactly does this phenomena happen?
Quote from: J70 on July 03, 2012, 08:45:53 PMTyrone had got to grips with Donegal last year and a disastrous defensive error handed them the match on a plate. Kildare couldn't deal with Donegal's system but even still were also denied a perfectly good goal which would have killed off Donegal's challenge. On neither occasion did Donegal vary their tactics. When faced with a situation against 14 man Dublin where they needed to score and needed to show a bit of intelligence in varying their tactics they were couldn't and were easily dealt with for the last ten minutes plus injury time.
And I must have imagined us digging ourselves out of holes against Tyrone and kildare last year.
Quote from: Orangemac on July 02, 2012, 11:45:58 PMI don't think there's much point playing a full forward line against Donegal. Mulligan and O'Neill were worthless for the entire game on Saturday. Drag three men back, play a 3-4-4-3 formation, control the middle or maybe draw them out a bit, make it way harder for them to break at pace and make it easier for your own players to make runs from deep and find some space.
Maybe go with a new approach. You are not going to run through Donegal. Maybe play a 3 man full forward line of Coulter,Gordon and Poland with half forwards of Carr,Laverty and Hughes as a screen in front of midfield to stop Donegal runners.

I assume this hurling club are being looked after in some way for allowing themselves to be whored like this?
Quote from: Wildweasel74 on June 30, 2012, 01:32:29 PMEh...if you piss off and desert your county like Johnston did at the first hint of not getting your way in order to try and play for an All-Ireland contending county you have no connection to whatsoever, yes it certainly does make you less of a Cavan man. A lot less.
G Myles who are you to say Seanie Johnston ain't a cavan man at heart any more, he played county football for cavan for a few years, alot more than i think you did, the fact he playing in kildare now make him any less of a cavan man that you, hes ended up at Kildare, he ain't the first man to transfer about, Rory Gallagher done the rounds as has plenty of others, Kildare in with a serious shout this year and i think this has annoyed people more as he could make a difference!!I guy who played for my local team played Derry minor one year, Tyrone U-21 the following year after transferring down the road, thought he was wrong but didn't stop me talking to him,

Is anyone sorry to see him go?
Quote from: ONeill on March 31, 2012, 11:01:10 PMThe facts speak for themselves. Dublin's intensity last year was a huge reason for them winning the All-Ireland. It's very difficult to replicate the same intensity the next year as many other teams, notably Tyrone on a number of occasions, found out.
The Dubs will win it again.
